Attack on ship in Strait of Hormuz kills one, according to Iran

Euronews Portugal13 September 2026 at 08:51

A merchant ship was struck off the islands of Hengam and Qeshm, in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian government information. The attack occurred around 5:00 AM local time, which corresponds to 01:30 GMT.

The attack resulted in the death of one person and left three injured. The toll was confirmed by the governor of the city of Qeshm, Amir Teymouri, in statements broadcast by Iranian state television.

The islands of Hengam and Qeshm are situated in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important maritime routes for oil transport, located in the Persian Gulf.

Why this matters

The attack in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most strategic and busiest maritime routes for oil transport, represents a significant escalation of tension in the Persian Gulf region. Any incident in this energy corridor can directly affect oil prices and the security of international maritime trade routes, impacting the global economy and energy costs.

Rare snake surprises breeders by having two heads capable of controlling the body equally

A two-headed ball python was born at a breeding facility in Eugene, Oregon (USA), and surprised breeders by demonstrating that both brains can equally control the shared body — something rare, since in most cases of dicephaly one head tends to be dominant. Both heads can drink water, flick their tongues, and react to touch independently, with the body responding to each one. The breeder Justin Stewart, 36 years old, told Creatorzine that he doesn't know if the heads are aware of each other, but stated: "They don't seem to mind it."
